1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

 

Body and Mind Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on 5 November 1998 in the State of Delaware, USA, under the name Concept Development Group, Inc. In May 2004, the Company acquired 100% of Vocalscape, Inc. and changed its name to Vocalscape, Inc. On October 28, 2005, the Company changed its name to Nevstar Precious Metals Inc. On October 23, 2008, the Company changed its name to Deploy Technologies Inc. (“Deploy Tech”) and, on September 15, 2010, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Deploy Acquisition Corp. (“Deploy”) under the laws of the State of Nevada, USA. On September 17, 2010, the Company merged with and into Deploy under the laws of the State of Nevada. Deploy, as the surviving corporation of the merger, assumed all the assets, obligations and commitments of Deploy Tech, and we were effectively re-domiciled in the State of Nevada. Upon the completion of the merger, Deploy assumed the name “Deploy Technologies Inc.”, and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Deploy Tech was automatically converted into and became Deploy’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

On 14 November 2017, the Company acquired Nevada Medical Group, LLC (“NMG”) and changed its name to Body and Mind Inc. The Company is now a supplier and grower of medical and recreational cannabis in the state of Nevada, and has retail operations in California, Ohio and Arkansas.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after 15 December 2022. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Recent Accounting PronouncementsContinued

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after 15 December 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adoption this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

 

3. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of presentation

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 July.

 

Amounts receivable

 

Amounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for sale of medical and recreational cannabis and sales tax recoverable. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis. As of 31 October 2020 and 31 July 2020, the Company has no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when our customers obtain control of our products. This determination is based on the customer specific terms of the arrangement. Upon transfer of control, the Company has no further performance obligations.

 

Due to the nature of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers, the Company does not have material contract assets or liabilities that fall under the scope of ASC 606.

 

The Company’s revenues accounted for under ASC 606, generally, do not require significant estimates or judgments based on the nature of the Company’s revenue streams. The sales prices are generally fixed and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration.

3. Significant Accounting PoliciesContinued

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of raw material, work in progress (live plants and plants in the drying process), finished goods, and consumables. The Company values its raw material, finished goods and consumables at the lower of the actual costs or its current estimated market value less costs to sell. The Company values its work in progress at cost. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for obsolete and potentially impaired items. As of 31 October 2020 and 31 July 2020, the Company has no allowance for inventory obsolescence.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis as follows:

 

Office equipment

7 years

Cultivation equipment

7 years

Production equipment

7 years

Kitchen equipment

7 years

Vehicles

7 years

Vault equipment

7 years

Leasehold improvements

shorter of useful life or the term of the lease

 

Brands and licenses

 

Intangible assets acquired from third parties are measured initially at fair value and either classified as indefinite life or finite life depending on their characteristics. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment at least annually and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually. The Company’s brands and licenses acquired from NMG have indefinite lives; therefore no amortization is recognized. The Company’s brands and licenses acquired by NMG SD have a finite life of 13 years, brands and licenses acquired by NMG LB and NMG OH 1 have a finite life of 10 years and are amortized over these estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.

 

Income taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive loss

 

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As of 31 October 2020 and 31 July 2020, the Company reported foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income or loss and included a schedule of comprehensive income/loss in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is in U.S. dollars. The Company’s subsidiaries have a functional currency in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Exchange gains and losses on inter-company balances that form part of the net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of net loss.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. The Company’s accounting policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

 

Fair value measurements

 

The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

 

·

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include investments in other private entities, and goodwill and intangible assets, when they are recorded at fair value due to an impairment charge. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.

  

The Company measures equity investments without readily determinable fair values on a nonrecurring basis. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include quoted market prices, market comparables, and discounted cash flow projections.

Fair value measurements Continued

 

Other current financial assets and current financial liabilities have fair values that approximate their carrying values.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Lease accounting

 

The Company adopted ASC 842, leases effective 1 August 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Under ASC 842, leases are separated into two classifications: operating leases and financial leases. Lease classification under ASC 842 is relatively similar to ASC 840. For a lease to be classified as a finance lease, it must meet one of the five finance lease criteria: (1) transference of title/ownership to the lessee, (2) purchase option, (3) lease term for major part of the remaining economic life of the asset, (4) present value represents substantially all of the fair value of the asset, and (5) asset specialization. Any lease that does not meet these criteria is classified as an operating lease. ASC 842 requires all leases to be recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. Specifically, for operating leases, the Company recognize a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability upon lease commitment.

Management of financial risks

 

The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations include credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is not exposed to credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents as it does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits, with major financial institutions. Credit risk associated with the convertible loans receivable arises from the possibility that the principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship.

4. Financial InstrumentsContinued

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company ensures, as far as reasonably possible, that it will have sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $15,658,153, recurring losses of $778,367 and negative cash flows from operations of $167,435 for the three months ended 31 October 2020, and had working capital of $1,914,275 at 31 October 2020. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with generating and maintaining profitable operations or will be able to secure future debt or equity financing for its working capital and expansion activities.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not hold financial instruments that will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates.

 

Currency risk

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk by incurring expenditures and holding assets denominated in currencies other than its functional currency.

6. Convertible loan receivable

 

Effective March 15, 2019, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, DEP Nevada and NMG, entered into a convertible loan agreement and a management agreement with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG”), an Arkansas limited liability company, with respect to the development of a medical cannabis dispensary facility in West Memphis, Arkansas.

 

Pursuant to the management agreement, NMG will provide operations and management services, including management, staffing, operations, administration, oversight, and other related services. Under the management agreement, NMG will be required to obtain approval from CCG for any key decisions as defined in the agreement and accordingly the Company does not control CCG. NMG will be paid a monthly management fee equal to 66.67% of the monthly net profits of CCG, subject to conversion of the convertible loan as discussed below upon which the monthly management fee shall be $6,000 per month, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. The Company earned management fees of $Nil and $18,000 during the three months ended 31 October 2020 and 2019.

6. Convertible loan receivableContinued

 

The convertible loan agreement is for an amount up to $1,250,000 from DEP to CCG with proceeds to be used to fund construction of a facility, working capital and initial operating expenses. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of $6,000 per month until the parties mutually agree to increase the interest. Upon the latter of one year of granting of a medical cannabis dispensary license by the appropriate authorities or one year after entering into the convertible loan agreement, DEP may elect to convert the loan into preferred units of CCG equal to 40% of all outstanding units of CCG, subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission.

 

The Company evaluated the convertible loan receivable’s settlement provisions and elected the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, to value this instrument. Under such election, the loan receivable is measured initially and subsequently at fair value, with any changes in the fair value of the instrument being recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a change in fair value of the financial instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of this instrument by first estimating the fair value of the straight debt portion, excluding the embedded conversion option, using a discounted cash flow model. The Company then estimates the fair value of the embedded conversion option using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The sum of these two valuations is the fair value of the loan receivable balance of $1,424,992 and $1,290,263 as of October 31, 2020 and July 31, 2020, respectively. Management believes that the accretion of the straight debt portion and embedded derivative related to the conversion option are not material due to the short term maturity of the loan. At 31 October 2020, the Company had advanced $134,729 (2019 - $67,166) and accrued interest income of $18,000 (2019 - $45,000) for the three months ended 31 October 2020. As of 31 October 2020, total interest receivable was $96,000 (31 July 2020 - $78,000).

 

7. Loan receivable

 

The loan receivable at 31 October 2020 in the amount of $224,289 acquired from NMG LB (Note 14) is due from an arm’s length party that is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

In April 2020, the Company fulfilled all obligations under the NMG SD Settlement Agreement and the Lease Assignment Agreement and completed the acquisition of a 60% owned dispensary located in San Diego (the “SD Transaction”). The SD Transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company acquired the rights to an existing lease that was zoned for use as a cannabis dispensary.

 

The Company owns the dispensary through a 60% owned subsidiary, NMG SD. The Company consolidated 100% of the assets, liabilities and the operations of NMG SD with 40% disclosed as a non-controlling interest.

These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions which we believe are reasonable based on current expectations and projections about future events and industry conditions and trends affecting our business. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that, among other things, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, including the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained therein.

Introduction

 

This MD&A is focused on material changes in our financial condition from July 31, 2020, our most recently completed year end, to October 31, 2020, and our results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2020, and should be read in conjunction with Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020.

 

Company Overview

 

Body and Mind is a multi-state cannabis operator, which has retail, distribution, cultivation, and/or processing operations in Nevada, California, Arkansas and Ohio.

 

Our platform approach to expansion focuses on limited license states and jurisdictions, entering new markets through lower cost license applications and opportunistic/targeted acquisitions.

 

We have developed the marquis lifestyle “Body and Mind” brand in Nevada with strong penetration into dispensaries and have recently expanded our brand and products to dispensaries in California. The Body and Mind brand appeals to a wide range of cannabis consumers with products including flower, oils, extracts (wax, live resin, ambrosia) and edibles.

 

We have a long track record of producing award-winning cannabis products and we have success with licensing to manufacture for brands. We completed construction and commenced production operations at the new Nevada production facility in early Q3 2020.

 

We are a Nevada corporation that, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Medical Group, LLC (“NMG”), are engaged in the cultivation and production of medical and adult-use recreational marijuana products. NMG produces cannabis flower, oil extracts and edibles under license in the state of Nevada, which are available for sale under the brand name “Body and Mind” in dispensaries in Nevada.

 

In California, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary NMG Cathedral City, LLC (“NMGCC”), were managing a licensed cannabis business conducting commercial cannabis activity in Cathedral City, California pursuant to a management agreement with Satellites Dip, LLC (“SD”) who is the actual licensed manufacturer. On November 30, 2019, we along with NMGCC entered into a settlement agreement with SD with respect to the management agreement and NMGCC entered into a brand director agreement with SD whereby NMGCC provides certain advisory and brand director services in connection with SD’s manufacture of Company-branded products, as well as certain other products as agreed to by NMGCC. In addition, as part of the revised arrangement with SD, our wholly-owned subsidiary, DEP Nevada Inc. (“DEP”) entered into a brand license agreement with SD whereby DEP has granted SD a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sub-licensable right to use certain licensed marks in connection with or on licensed products. Our products are sold and distributed to numerous licensed dispensaries throughout California. In late April 2020, we closed the San Diego ShowGrow dispensary transaction, which is owned 60% by our wholly-owned subsidiary, NMG San Diego, LLC (“NMG SD”), has received all licenses, permits and authorizations required to conduct medical and adult-use commercial cannabis retail operations, and which opened in early July 2020. We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NMG Long Beach, LLC (“NMG LB”), have been managing the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary operations for over a year, received all approvals and final license transfer for the dispensary, which was transferred to NMG LB at the end of August 2020, and are close to closing the asset purchase agreement for the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary.

In Ohio, we, through NMG, were managing the fully operational The Clubhouse dispensary located in Elyria, Ohio, which is 30% owned by NMG, and have an agreement to acquire the remaining 70% of NMG Ohio LLC. We received all approvals and final license and name transfer from the Ohio Department of Pharmacy in early September 2020 and transferred the dispensary license and all assets and liabilities associated with such dispensary from NMG Ohio LLC to a 100% owned subsidiary of Body and Mind; however, the transfer of the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio LLC to NMG will not occur until NMG Ohio LLC receives a production license.

  

In Arkansas, we, through NMG, manage the “Body and Mind” branded medical marijuana dispensary in West Memphis, Arkansas, which opened on April 27, 2020.

 

Our common stock is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “BAMM” and our common stock is posted for trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol “BMMJ.”

 

Our head office located at 750 – 1095 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 2M6.

 

Development of Our Business

 

Incorporation and Early Corporate History

 

We were incorporated on November 5, 1998 in the State of Delaware under the name Concept Development Group, Inc. In May 2004, we acquired 100% of Vocalscape, Inc. and changed our name to Vocalscape, Inc. In November 2005, we changed our name to Nevstar Precious Metals Inc. In September 2008, we changed our name to Deploy Technologies Inc. (“Deploy Tech”) and effective November 14, 2017, we changed our name to Body and Mind, Inc. (“Body and Mind”).

 

On September 15, 2010, we incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Deploy Acquisition Corp. (“Deploy”) under the laws of the State of Nevada, USA. On September 17, 2010, Deploy completed a merger with Deploy Tech, its former parent company, pursuant to which Deploy was the surviving corporation and assumed all the assets, obligations and commitments of Deploy Tech. Upon the completion of the merger Deploy assumed the name “Deploy Technologies Inc.” and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Deploy Tech was automatically converted into and became Deploy’s – that is, our Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

On May 10, 2011, we registered as an extra-provincial company in British Columbia, and on September 30, 2011, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to designate 2,900,000 shares of our authorized capital stock as Class A Preferred Shares (the “Preferred Shares”). On September 2, 2014, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State increasing the authorized Preferred Shares from 2,900,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares.

 

On November 11, 2014, we filed a certificate of change with the Nevada Secretary of State whereby we reverse split our authorized as well as the issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) on the basis of one (1) new share for ten (10) old shares. This resulted in a reduction of our authorized capital from 100,000,000 Common Shares to 10,000,000 Common Shares, and a reduction of our issued and outstanding Common Shares from 23,130,209 Common Shares to approximately 2,313,021 Common Shares. On April 11, 2017, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to increase the authorized capital from 10,000,000 Common Shares to 900,000,000 Common Shares.

Acquisition of Nevada Medical Group, LLC

 

On September 14, 2017, we, with DEP, entered into a definitive agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Nevada Medical Group, LLC (“NMG”), whereby DEP acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of NMG in exchange for (a) 16,000,000 post reverse-split Common Shares, (b) $2,000,000 cash, and (b) promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000, to the NMG securityholders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective ownership interest in NMG. The Promissory Notes were secured by a senior priority security interest in all of our assets, and were due to be repaid at the earlier of fifteen (15) months from the closing date of the Share Exchange Agreement, or, if an equity or debt financing subsequent to the Concurrent Financing (as defined below) were to be closed in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000, then within 30 days of the closing date of such subsequent financing. The Share Exchange Agreement closed on November 14, 2017.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we changed our name to “Body and Mind, Inc.”, effective on November 14, 2017, by filing a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State; at the same time, we cancelled our entire authorized class of Preferred Shares. In addition, on November 14, 2017, we filed a certificate of change with the Nevada Secretary of State whereby we reverse split our issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one (1) new share for three (3) old shares (the “Consolidation”) which resulted in there being 28,239,876 Common Shares issued and outstanding post-Consolidation. Subsequent to completion of the Share Exchange Agreement, we filed articles of exchange with the Nevada Secretary of State.

 

Concurrent with the Share Exchange Agreement, we completed an equity financing to raise aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$6,007,429.89 through the issuance of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”), at a pre-Consolidation price of CAD$0.22 per Subscription Receipt (the “Concurrent Financing”). On November 14, 2017, each Subscription Receipt was exchanged in accordance with its terms, for no additional consideration, for one pre-Consolidation Common Share and one common share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant was exercisable by the holder at a price of CAD$0.90 for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

 

On completion of the Share Exchange Agreement, we assumed the business of NMG, being the cultivation and production of medical marijuana products.

 

Convertible Loan and Management Agreements with Comprehensive Care Group LLC

 

On March 19, 2018, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries DEP and NMG, entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Convertible Loan Agreement”) and a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”), respectively, with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG”), an Arkansas limited liability company, with respect to the development of a medical marijuana dispensary, 50 plant cultivation facility in West Memphis, Arkansas which agreements were effective as of March 15, 2019.

 

Pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement, DEP agreed to make loan advances to CCG from time to time in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,250,000 and as of July 31, 2020, DEP has loaned $1,353,373 to CCG. The loan proceeds were used to fund the construction of the medical marijuana dispensary facility, and to provide working capital to cover initial operating expenses. The construction was completed and all permits and licenses were received for the dispensary in late April 2020, which opened for operations on April 27, 2020.

  

The interest on the outstanding principal amount is currently set at $6,000 per month, payable monthly in arrears on or before the first calendar day of each month. CCG is not obligated to repay any principal outstanding under the loan until March 30, 2021. Either CCG or DEP may unilaterally extend the maturity date by one year, and may thereafter continue to extend the maturity date on a yearly basis by increments of one year (each, an “Extension Option”) by providing written notice of the exercise of the Extension Option by the party seeking an extension to the other party; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any extended maturity date extend beyond the expiration of the term of the Management Agreement entered into between NMG and CCG.

Upon the latter of: (a) one year after granting of a medical marijuana dispensary license by the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission to CCG, or (b) one year after entering into the Convertible Loan Agreement, DEP may, in its sole discretion, subject to DEP providing all reasonable assistance to obtain all necessary approvals from the applicable government authorities to engage in the medical marijuana dispensary business, elect to convert all of the outstanding indebtedness into preferred units of CCG equal to 40% of the overall member units of CCG, subject to approval of the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Commission, with the following preferred rights: (i) the right to an allocative share of 66.67% of the net profits of CCG (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreement) and the right to distributions equal to 66.67% of the net profits on a monthly basis; (ii) the right to a 66.67% share of CCG’s assets upon dissolution of CCG; and (iii) the right to 66.67% of all voting rights of members of CCG. DEP is waiting for regulatory clearance from the State regulators before proceeding with the conversion.

  

Pursuant to the Management Agreement, NMG provides operations and management services to CCG (including management, staffing, operations administration, oversight and other related services) for the medical marijuana dispensary. In consideration for such services CCG pays NMG a monthly management fee in the amount equal to 66.67% of the Monthly Net Profits (as defined below) of CCG for the immediately-preceding month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that DEP exercises its conversion right under the Convertible Loan Agreement, then NMG’s monthly management fee shall be fixed at $6,000 per month, unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. For purposes of the Management Agreement, “Monthly Net Profits” means, for each calendar month, an amount equal to CCG’s gross revenue for such calendar month less CCG’s operating expenses (including cost of goods sold, interest, and tax for said month), as reasonably determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Acquisition of NMG Ohio LLC

 

We, through NMG, currently own a 30% interest in NMG Ohio, LLC (“NMG Ohio”), which has a cannabis dispensary carrying on business as “The Clubhouse” in Elyria, Loraine County, Ohio as well as a provisional production license. On January 31, 2019, we, through NMG, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio. The consideration for the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio consists of cash payments totaling $1,575,000 and 3,173,864 common shares of the Company. As at the date hereof, we have issued 3,173,864 common shares with a fair value of $1,742,076 and paid $1,575,000. Closing of the acquisition was subject to receipt of regulatory approval, which all approvals and final license and name transfer approvals from the Ohio Department of Pharmacy were received in early September 2020.  As such, the dispensary license for The Clubhouse dispensary, as well as the assets and liabilities associated with the dispensary, were transferred to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NMG OH 1 LLC. We anticipate closing the acquisition of the remaining 70% interest in NMG Ohio upon receipt of the production license.

 

Strategic Investment and Commercial Advisory Agreements with Australis Capital Inc.

 

Pursuant to an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) entered into with Australis Capital Inc. (“Australis”) on October 30, 2018, whereby Australis acquired (a) 16,000,000 units of the Company, with each unit being comprised of one share of our common stock and one common share purchase warrant at a purchase price of CAD$0.40 per unit, for gross proceeds of CAD$6,400,000 and (b) CAD$1,600,000 principal amount 8% unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company, we entered into a commercial advisory agreement (the “Commercial Advisory Agreement”) with Australis Capital (Nevada) Inc. (“Australis Nevada”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Australis, pursuant to which Australis Nevada has agreed to provide advisory and consulting services to us for a fee of $10,000 per month payable on the first day of each month for a term ending on the date that is the earlier of (i) five years following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, and (ii) the date Australis no longer holds 10% or more of our Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. The foregoing is more fully disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 5, 2018. On July 1, 2019, we entered into a conversion agreement with Australis, whereby Australis has agreed to convert the Debentures on July 1, 2020. Upon execution of the conversion agreement, we remitted CAD$148,340 to Australis as an advanced interest payment for the period from November 2, 2018 to July 1, 2020. On July 1, 2020, we issued 2,909,091 Common Shares to Australis at a deemed value of CAD$0.55 per Common Shares and the Debentures were fully converted to Common Shares.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and subject to certain exceptions, Australis will be entitled to maintain its pro rata ownership interest of the Company until such time as it no longer holds 10% or more of our issued and outstanding common shares.

Furthermore, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement and subject to applicable laws and the rules of the CSE, for as long as Australis owns at least 10% of our issued and outstanding common shares, Australis will be entitled to nominate one director for election to our Board of Directors of the Company. If Australis exercises all of its warrants and converts all of its debentures, Australis will be entitled to nominate a second director for election to our Board of Directors.

Australis’ current nominee director on our Board of Directors is Brent Reuter.

 

Transaction and Settlement with Green Light District Holdings Inc. – ShowGrow Long Beach and San Diego

 

Prior Agreement with Green Light District Holdings Inc.

 

On November 28, 2018, we entered into an interim agreement (the “Prior GLDH Agreement”) with Green Light District Holdings Inc. (“GLDH”), a private company incorporated under the laws of Delaware, and David Barakett, whereby our Company agreed to acquire up to 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of GLDH. We concurrently made a strategic investment in a senior secured convertible note issued by GLDH in the principal amount of $5,200,000 (the “Prior GLDH Note”), bearing interest at the rate of 20% per annum and maturing on November 28, 2020.

 

At the time, GLDH was the owner of the ShowGrow dispensary brand, and owner of:

 

 

(a)

the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary,

 

 

 

 

(b)

43% of the equity interest and 60% of the voting rights in the ShowGrow San Diego dispensary, and

 

 

 

 

(c)

30% of the equity interest in the ShowGrow Las Vegas dispensary.

 

GLDH is also the owner of the ShowGrow app. The dispensaries were in various stages of licensing.

 

In order to fund our original investment in GLDH, Australis advanced a $4,000,000 loan which was evidenced by a senior secured note dated November 28, 2018, bearing an interest rate of 15% per annum and maturing in two years. The terms required semi-annual interest payments unless we elected to accrue the interest by adding it to the principal amount of the debt facility. We may prepay the loan at any time, in any amount, subject to a 5% prepayment penalty on any amount repaid within the first year of the loan. Additionally, Australis exercised $1.2 million in warrants they held in our Company at an exercise price of CAD$0.50, which equated to 3,206,160 common shares.

 

We paid a financing fee to Australis in the approximate amount of CAD$795,660, by issuing 1,105,083 Common Shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.72 per share.

 

Original Settlement and Release Agreement

 

On June 19, 2019, our Company, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary NMG LB, and our 60% owned subsidiary NMG SD, entered into a settlement agreement (the “Original GLDH Settlement Agreement”) with GLDH, The Airport Collective, Inc. (“Airport Collective”), Mr. Barakett, and SGSD, LLC (“SGSD”). SGSD was the commercial tenant at 7625 Carroll Road, San Diego, California 92121 (the “San Diego Location”).

 

Pursuant to the Original GLDH Settlement Agreement, we, GLDH, and Mr. Barakett agreed to restructure the Prior GLDH Agreement, and enter into a mutual release of all claims related to the Prior GLDH Agreement.

On June 28, 2019, we, NMG LB, NMG SD, GLDH, Airport Collective, Mr. Barakett, and SGSD entered into an amended and restated settlement and release agreement (the “Amended GLDH Settlement Agreement”) which supersedes and replaces the Original GLDH Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the Amended GLDH Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed as follows: 

 

 

i

GLDH, Airport Collective, and Mr. Barakett agreed to release us from all claims related to the Prior GLDH Agreement upon closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement in consideration of the following:

 

 

A.

the Company issuing to Mr. Barakett or his designee up to 1,340,502 Common Shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.7439 per share, subject to NMG SD receiving all licenses, permits, and authorizations required for NMG SD to conduct medical commercial cannabis retail operations at the San Diego Location (the “SD Medical Licenses”) (issued);

 

 

 

 

B.

the Company issuing to Mr. Barakett or his designee up to 1,340,502 Common Shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.7439 per share, subject to NMG SD receiving all licenses, permits, and authorizations required for NMG SD to conduct adult-use commercial cannabis retail operations at the San Diego Location (the “SD Adult-use Licenses”) (issued); and

 

 

 

 

C.

the Company paying certain legal and consulting expenses incurred by GLDH, Airport Collective and Barakett in an aggregate amount of US$90,500 (paid); and

 

 

ii

SGSD agreed to assign its lease for the San Diego Location to NMG SD, and to release our Company, NMG LB and NMG SD from any and all claims, in consideration of the payment by us of a total of USD$500,000 to SGSD’s members, to be paid and satisfied by the issuance of Common Shares to them at the maximum discount allowed by the CSE (issued).

 

NMG SD is owned 60% by the our subsidiary, DEP, and 40% by SJJR, LLC (“SJJR”). Mr. Barakett agreed to cover SJJR’s portion of all start-up costs associated with NMG SD establishing commercial cannabis operations at the San Diego Location, inclusive of: (i) the costs associated with becoming a tenant at the San Diego Location; and (ii) all construction costs associated with building out the San Diego Location for NMG SD’s operations. The share consideration payable to Mr. Barakett under the Amended GLDH Settlement Agreement is subject to reduction if Mr. Barakett fails to meet this obligation on a timely basis.

 

NMG SD, which has assumed the lease on the ShowGrow San Diego premises, has been awarded its own medical commercial cannabis retail license and adult-use commercial retail license and commenced operations on April 15, 2020. In consideration for the landlord, Green Road, LLC, agreeing to consent to the assignment of the original lease with SGSD to NGM SD, we agreed to provide the following consideration to the landlord:

 

 

i

$700,000 in Common Shares of the Company calculated upon execution of the assignment and first amendment to commercial lease (the “Assignment and First Amendment”), dated June 13, 2019, at the maximum discount allowed by the CSE to be issued to the landlord immediately following execution of the Assignment and First Amendment (1,031,725 shares issued on August 12, 2019);

 

 

 

 

ii

$783,765.26 in cash to be paid to the landlord via bank draft within five (5) business days of execution of the Assignment and First Amendment (paid); and

 

 

 

 

iii

$750,000 in cash, plus interest at the rate of five percent (5%) simple per annum accruing from the effective date to be paid no later than five (5) business days of the landlord’s receipt from the City of San Diego of a Conditional Use Permit allowing adult-use commercial cannabis storefront retail operations at the San Diego Location (paid).

Pursuant to the Assignment and First Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the original lease to permit NMG SD to have three (3) five (5) year renewal options as opposed to two (2) renewal options. In addition, the parties agreed to reduce the amount of the sale bonus provision in the original lease to $1,000,000 from $2,000,000, which shall only be payable in connection with the first two assignments triggering this obligation, and thereafter, assignments will not require payment of a sale bonus. Furthermore, the parties also amended certain provisions of the original lease to ensure that any change in members representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the existing membership interests of NMG SD shall be an excluded transaction and not trigger the sale bonus or be deemed an assignment requiring consent of the landlord.

 

Amended and Restated Convertible Note and General Security Agreement

 

As contemplated by the Original GLDH Settlement Agreement, we entered into a loan agreement with GLDH dated June 19, 2019 (the “2019 GLDH Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Prior GLDH Note has been superseded and replaced with an amended and restated senior secured convertible note payable to us by GLDH in the principal amount of $5,200,000 (the “Amended and Restated GLDH Note”). The Amended and Restated GLDH Note bears interest at the rate of 20% per annum, compounded annually, and will mature and become repayable on June 19, 2022. GLDH’s obligations under 2019 GLDH Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated GLDH Note have been guaranteed by Airport Collective, and are secured under a security agreement dated June 19, 2019 by all of GLDH’s and Airport Collective’s personal property, including but not limited to equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, cash or cash equivalents, and rights under contracts.

 

Asset Purchase Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, NMG Long Beach has agreed to purchase all of GLDH’s and Airport Collective’s assets (the “Purchased Assets”) utilized in the retail cannabis business at the Long Beach Location for $6,700,000. Upon closing of the transaction, the outstanding principal amount under the Amended and Restated GLDH Note will be applied to the purchase price, and Airport Collective will be released from its obligations as a guarantor of the GLDH’s obligations under the Amended and Restated GLDH Note.

 

We will pay the balance of the purchase price for the Purchased Assets by issuing up to 2,681,006 Common shares at a deemed price of CAD$0.7439 per share (issued in escrow on August 12, 2019); the number of shares required to pay and satisfy the balance of the purchase price for the Purchased Assets in the amount of $1,500,000 was determined with reference to the Agreed Foreign Exchange Rate of CAD$1.3296:USD$1.00. The purchase price – and therefore the amount of the share consideration - remains subject to reduction with reference to the liabilities of the business that will be outstanding on the closing date, which is expected to occur in the near future.  NMG LB received all approvals and license transfer from local and state authorities to conduct medical and adult-use commercial cannabis retail operation at the Long Beach Location, which were transferred to NMG LB at the end of August 2020.

  

Contemporaneous Loan

 

We entered into a contemporaneous loan (the “Contemporaneous Loan”) with GLDH in the amount of $726,720.00 to fund certain business improvements and expansion needs of GLDH’s business operations. We and NMG LB agreed to forgive the Contemporaneous Loan on the date of closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

Management Assignment and Assumption Agreement

 

On or around August 1, 2019, NMG LB began managing the ShowGrow Long Beach business pursuant to the management assignment and assumption agreement dated June 19, 2019, among NMG LB, GLDH and Airport Collective. Under the agreement, NMG LB is entitled to manage the business and recognize the profits from the business until NMG LB receives all approval and license transfer for operations at the Long Beach Location,  which were received and transferred at the end of August 2020, and the Asset Purchase Agreement is expected to close in the near future.

Transactions with Satellites Dip, LLC

 

On June 6, 2019, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, NMGCC entered into a management and administrative services agreement (the “California Management Agreement”) with Satellites Dip, LLC, a California limited liability company (“SD”) that is licensed to carry on commercial cannabis distribution and manufacturing operations within the state of California. Under the California Management Agreement, NMGCC agreed to provide certain management and administrative services to SD, in exchange for a management fee equal to the greater of: (a) 30% of net profits (as such term is defined in the California Management Agreement); and (b) $10,000 per month. The California Management Agreement had an initial term expiring on June 6, 2020.

 

In addition, NMGCC agreed to broker commercial arrangements between SD and third-party cannabis brand owners, with the view to securing licenses for use in SD’s business. In particular, NMGCC agreed: (a) that, within 30 days of the effective date of the California Management Agreement, it would arrange for its affiliate company, NMG, to license certain trademarks and other intellectual property to SD for use relation to cannabis products to be manufactured by SD (the “Branded Products”) on terms at least as favorable as the most favored licensee; (b) to use good faith efforts to establish similar license agreements with third-party cannabis brand owners; and (c) to use good faith efforts to assist SD in the development of SD branded products in the event SD decides to create its own brand(s).

 

NMGCC furnished equipment and machinery necessary for the manufacture of the Branded Products by SD. As contemplated by the California Management Agreement, NMGCC has leased such equipment and machinery to SD pursuant to an Equipment Lease Agreement between the parties dated June 6, 2019. The initial term of the Equipment Lease Agreement will expire on June 6, 2020 (see below for the Settlement Agreement and First Amendment to the Equipment Lease Agreement). It is the intent of the parties that the monthly rent payable under the Equipment Lease Agreement be completely net to NMGCC, such that NMGCC will not be liable for any costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever relating to the equipment or any improvements to the equipment, or use of the equipment. SD is solely responsible for any such costs, charges, expenses, and outlays, including taxes, maintenance, and repairs.

 

In conjunction with entering into the California Management Agreement, we through NMGCC entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated June 6, 2019 (see below for the Settlement Agreement and Release Agreement), whereby NMGCC loaned SD US$250,000 to fund the property and business improvements and expansion needs of SD’s business operations. The loan is due and payable on June 6, 2020, subject to extension by mutual agreement between the parties, and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest will accrue and be compounded quarterly, and will be payable by SD upon maturity. SD may prepay, in whole or in part, all or any portion of the principal amount and accrued interest on the loan without being subject to any pre-payment penalty. The loan was evidenced by a promissory note, and the performance of SD of its obligations under the loan agreement and the promissory note are secured pursuant to a security agreement.

 

Settlement and Release Agreement

 

On November 30, 2019, we through NMGCC entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with SD whereby NMGCC and SD agreed to terminate the California Management Agreement and to enter into a mutual release of any and all claims related to the California Management Agreement, subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

 

As of November 30, 2019, SD owed NMGCC management fees (the “Monies Owed”) under the California Management Agreement. In consideration of NMGCC’s discharge of the Monies Owed, SD has agreed to pay NMGCC one-hundred percent (100%) of all proceeds received from the sale of all or any part of its inventory (the “Inventory”) as of November 1, 2019. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, SD shall provide monthly updates of the remaining Inventory until the Inventory has been fully exhausted. NMGCC will determine the sale price for any item in Inventory subject to the Settlement Agreement.

 

As part of the Settlement Agreement, each of SD and NMGCC mutually agree to release and discharge the other from any and all claims arising from the California Management Agreement on or before November 30, 2019.

Brand Director Agreement

 

In conjunction with the Settlement Agreement, on November 30, 2019, NMGCC entered into a brand director agreement (the “Brand Director Agreement”) with SD. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, SD engaged NMGCC to provide certain advisory and brand director services in connection with SD’s manufacture of Company-branded products, as well as certain other products (the “Managed Products”) as agreed to by NMGCC (the “Brand Director Services”). The initial term of the Brand Director Agreement was six months and the parties may continue to renew the Brand Director Agreement for successive three-month renewal periods.

 

The Brand Director Services include: (a) managing SD’s production of the Managed Products; (b) payment of a reimbursement fee to SD equal to the amount of direct costs and direct taxes applicable to the Managed Products; (c) managing inventory of the Managed Products; and (d) directing SD to enter into distribution agreements and sale agreements with third-party commercial cannabis licensees for the distribution and sale of the Managed Products in accordance with applicable law. Pursuant to the Brand Director Agreement, NMGCC will pay a monthly fee (the “Contribution Fee”) of $5,000 to SD, however, SD waived payment of the Contribution Fee for the first five (5) months of the Brand Direction Agreement.

 

In consideration for the Brand Director Services, SD agreed to pay NMGCC a monthly brand director fee to be calculated as follows: (x) net revenue for a single calendar month, multiplied by, (y) seventy-five percent (75%); (z) plus any fees to be paid to NMGCC in connection with the equipment lease agreement (the “Equipment Lease Agreement”) dated June 6, 2019 (the “Equipment Lease Fee”) added to the product of (x) and (y), the (q) total amount shall be the fee paid to NMGCC. If the net revenue, minus the product of (x) and (y) is less than the Equipment Lease Fee in any given month, the difference shall carry over to the subsequent month, to be added to that month’s Equipment Lease Fee, or the difference may be paid by SD at its sole option.

 

Equipment Purchase Agreement

 

Also in conjunction with the Settlement Agreement, on November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into an equipment purchase agreement (the “Equipment Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which NMGCC agreed to purchase certain equipment (the “Equipment”) from SD. The aggregate purchase price for the Equipment is $235,685.

 

First Amendment to the Equipment Lease Agreement

 

On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Equipment Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the First Amendment, NMGCC and SD amended (i) the term of the Equipment Lease Agreement to be coterminous with the Brand Director Agreement; and (ii) to update the equipment being leased pursuant to the Equipment Lease Agreement and to update the monthly rental rate for the equipment being leased.

 

Release & Satisfaction of Loan Agreement

 

On November 30, 2019, NMGCC and SD entered into a release and satisfaction of loan agreement (the “Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Release Agreement, NMGCC agreed that all indebtedness of SD to NMGCC arising from the Loan Agreement (and promissory note issued in connection with the Loan Agreement) is hereby satisfied and discharged in full. The release is granted based on SD’s obligations and duties pursuant to the Equipment Purchase Agreement and its five (5) month waiver of the Contribution Fee under the Brand Director Agreement.

 

New Nevada Production Facility

 

On June 20, 2019, we announced the receipt of a conditional use permit from Clark County, Nevada, for a new production facility located within one mile of NMG’s existing cultivation facility located at 3375 Pepper Lane, in Las Vegas. The new facility is approximately 7,500 square feet, and tenant improvement of the building holding the facility was completed in February 2020. The new facility includes high-volume extraction equipment, which we expect will dramatically increase our manufacturing capacity and efficiency for our extraction products, including oils, wax, live resin and ambrosia. The new facility also expands the kitchen area and creates an opportunity for the Company to white label for brands seeking an entry to the Nevada market. After passing all inspections, receiving all permits, and finalizing license transfer approvals, the new production facility began operations in March 2020.

For the three month period ended October 31, 2020, operating expenses totaled $2,495,363 compared with $1,642,657 for the three month period ended October 31, 2019. A significant reason for the increase in operating expenses between the periods related to an increase in salaries and wages from $484,051 to $782,618 as the Company continues to expand, increase in rent from $12,365 to $38,351, increase in licenses, utilities and office administration from $304,724 to $575,245 and an increase in accounting and legal fees from $44,193 to $167,077.  The Company’s office administration and salaries and wages increased considerably as a result of increased operations in Nevada as well as recently acquired operations in Long Beach, San Diego and Ohio.

Other Items

 

During the three month period ended October 31, 2020, our other items accounted for $426,917 of income as compared to $425,731 for the three month period ended October 31, 2019. The significant components in other items primarily relates to the Company’s proportion of income on equity investee in NMG Ohio LLC of $24,872 (2019 – $87,651), interest income on the secured convertible note related to the investment in GLDH and convertible loan receivable from CCG in the amount of $106,143 (2019 - $278,000), and the bargain purchase price of the Ohio dispensary acquisition of $208,176 (2019 - $Nil).

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the quarter ended October 31, 2020 totaled $778,367 compared with a net loss of $896,797 for the quarter ended October 31, 2019. The decrease in net loss is largely due to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.  The Company also reported a one-time bargain purchase gain on the acquisition of NMG OH 1 as well as income tax expense of $509,975 for the period.

  

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

We recorded translation adjustments of $268,097 and $119,193 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The amounts are included in the statement of operations as other comprehensive gain for the respective periods.

Trends and Uncertainties

 

Potential Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus (now commonly known as COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread rapidly throughout many countries, and, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In an effort to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the United States, Canada and China, have imposed unprecedented restrictions on travel, and there have been business closures and a substantial reduction in economic activity in countries that have had significant outbreaks of COVID-19. COVID-19 may have a future material impact on our results of operation with respect to retail sales at our dispensary locations as well as wholesales of our products in Nevada to dispensaries in Nevada. Significant uncertainty remains as to the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, and on the global economy as a whole. It is currently not possible to predict how long the pandemic will last or the time that it will take for economic activity to return to prior levels. We do not yet know the full extent of any impact on our business or our operations, however, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, and intend to follow health and safety guidelines as they evolve.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Subsequent Events

 

On November 14, 2020, the Company issued 70,500 shares to Toro Pacific Management Inc. (“Toro”) pursuant to an assignment agreement between the Company, Toro and NMG in connection with the acquisition of NMG.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

·

Income taxes

 

 

 

 

 

The determination of deferred income tax assets or liabilities requires subjective assumptions regarding future income tax rates and the likelihood of utilizing tax carry-forwards. Changes in these assumptions could materially affect the recorded amounts, and therefore do not necessarily provide certainty as to their recorded values.

 

 

·

Foreign currency

 

 

 

 

 

The Company determines the functional currency through an analysis of several indicators such as expenses and cash flows, financing activities, retention of operating cash flows, and frequency of transactions with the reporting entity.

 

 

·

Fair value of financial instruments

 

 

 

 

 

Management uses valuation techniques, in measuring the fair value of financial instruments, where active market quotes are not available.

 

In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs wherever possible, and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. Such estimates include liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility may vary from the actual results that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the reporting date.

 

The assessment of the timing and extent of impairment of intangible assets involves both significant judgements by management about the current and future prospects for the intangible assets as well as estimates about the factors used to quantify the extent of any impairment that is recognized.  

 

 

·

Intellectual property

 

 

 

 

 

The recoverability of the carrying value of the intellectual property is dependent on numerous factors. The carrying value of these assets is reviewed by management when events or circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recovered. If impairment is determined to exist, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

 

 
39

Table of Contents

  

 

·

Stock-based compensation

 

 

 

 

 

The option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, particularly the expected stock price volatility. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, and therefore the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company does not anticipate this amendment to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.  ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes.  ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Management of financial risks

 

The financial risk arising from the Company’s operations are credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and currency risk. These risks arise from the normal course of operations and all transactions undertaken are to support the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

 

 

·

Credit risk

 

 

 

 

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company is not exposed to credit risk as it does not hold cash in excess of federally insured limits, with major financial institutions. Credit risk associated with the convertible loans receivable arises from the possibility that the principal and/or interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationship. The Company is not currently exposed to any significant credit risk associated with its trade receivable. 

 

 

·

Liquidity risk

 

 

 

 

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company had a working capital of $1,914,275 as at October 31, 2020. However, the Company may require additional financing to meet all current and future financial obligations.

 

 

·

Interest rate risk

 

 

 

 

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk as it does not hold financial instruments that will fluctuate in value due to changes in interest rates.

·

Currency risk

 

 

 

 

 

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The Company is exposed to currency risk by incurring expenditures and holding assets denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. Assuming all other variables remain constant, a 1% change in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar would not result in a significant change to the Company’s operations.

 

 

·

Other risks

 

 

 

 

 

The Company is not exposed to other risks unless otherwise noted.

  

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and the Board.

 

Based on their evaluation as of October 31, 2020, our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officers have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of October 31, 2020 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

In our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2020, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, material weaknesses were identified regarding experienced personnel with knowledge of GAAP and the proper levels of supervision and review required to provide timely financial information. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements could not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

During the quarter ended October 31, 2020, in response to the material weaknesses identified above, we added more experienced personnel in our accounting department to remediate these material weaknesses.  However, our management will not consider these remediated until the control procedures operate for a period of time and the control procedures are tested to ensure they are operating effectively.

  

It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

 

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except for the remediation procedures described above, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding.  We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, affiliates or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS  

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On November 14, 2020, we issued 70,500 shares of common stock to Toro Pacific Management Inc. (“Toro”) pursuant to the assignment agreement between the Company, Toro and NMG at a deemed price of CAD$0.66 per share.  We relied upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act as Toro is a non-U.S. person and the securities were issued to Toro through an offshore transaction which was negotiated and consummated outside of the United States.

ITEM 5 – OTHER INFORMATION

 

As previously reported on September 1, 2020, the medical and adult-use commercial cannabis license for the ShowGrow Long Beach dispensary was transferred to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NMG Long Beach, LLC on August 28, 2020. In addition, as previously reported on September 9, 2020, the dispensary license for The Clubhouse Dispensary in Elyria, Ohio was transferred from NMG Ohio, LLC to the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NMG OH 1, LLC on September 4, 2020, and the Company renamed the dispensary to “Body and Mind.” Concurrently with the transfer of the dispensary license for the Ohio dispensary, all assets and liabilities associated with such dispensary were transferred from NMG Ohio, LLC to NMG OH 1, LLC on September 4, 2020.  After further analysis with respect to the foregoing transfers into wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the Company has determined that it should have filed an item 2.01 Form 8-K at each time with respect to the acquisition of a business and it is now taking measures to complete and file any required financial statements under Regulation S-X Rule 3-05.

Section 7. Quorum and Voting.

 

(a)

(c)

After a quorum has been established at a stockholders’ meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of stockholders, so as to reduce the number of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Proof of such designation may be made by presentation of a certified copy of the bylaws or other instrument of the corporate stockholder. In the absence of any such designation, or in case of conflicting designation by the corporate stockholder, the chairman of the board, president, any vice president, secretary and treasurer of the corporate stockholder shall be presumed to possess, in that order, authority to vote such shares.

Section 9. Proxies.

Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to express consent or dissent without a meeting or a stockholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact, may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy.

Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the stockholder executing it, except as otherwise provided by law.

 

 

(c)

The authority of the holder of a proxy to act shall not be revoked by the incompetence or death of the stockholder who executed the proxy unless, before the authority is exercised, written notice of an adjudication of such incompetence or of such death is received by the corporate officer responsible for maintaining the list of stockholders.

 

 

(d)

If a proxy for the same shares confers authority upon two or more persons and does not otherwise provide, a majority of them present at the meeting, or if only one is present, then that one, may exercise all the powers conferred by the proxy; but if the proxy holders present at the meeting are equally divided as to the right and manner of voting in any particular case, the voting of such shares shall be prorated,

 

 

(e)

If a proxy expressly provides, any proxy holder may appoint, in writing, a substitute to act in his place.

These documents shall be subject to the same right of examination by a stockholder of the Corporation, in person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of the Corporation and shall also be subject to examination by any holder of record of voting trust certificates, either in person or by agent or attorney, at any reasonable time for any proper purpose.

 

Section 11. Stockholders’ Agreements.

 

Two or more stockholders of the Corporation may enter a written agreement, signed by the parties thereto, providing for the exercise of voting rights in the manner provided in the agreement or relating to any phase of the affairs of the Corporation as provided by law.

If any class of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, such written consent shall be required of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote as a class thereon and of the total shares entitled to vote thereon.

 

 

(b)

Within ten (10) days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be a merger, consolidation or sale or exchange of assets for which dissenters rights are provided under law, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of stockholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with further provisions of the law regarding the rights of dissenting stockholders.

 

Section 13. New Business.

 

Any Stockholder of record may make a proposal of new business to be acted upon at an annual or special meeting of Stockholders, only if and provided written notice of such proposed new business is filed with the Secretary of the Corporation not less than five business days prior to the day of meeting, but no other proposal shall be acted upon at such meeting.

(c)

To the extent that a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or

4.8 Non-Disparagement. Neither Consultant nor Principal shall make any statement in any format (whether orally, electronically, or in writing including, without limitation, via email, on the internet or on social media) which is defamatory, disparaging or otherwise derogatory pertaining to the Company or any Company Entities. This prohibition is specifically meant to be broader than defamation and includes, without limitation, contacting employees, customers, clients, vendors, investors or potential investors of Company or Company Entities and saying or implying anything negative about Company or Company Entities by words, actions, context or any combination of these. Provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Consultant or Principal from making such truthful disclosures as are compelled or required or permitted by law and as are necessary for legitimate law enforcement or compliance purposes.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

No Liability

 

5.1 In no event will the Company be liable for any claims made by the Consultant for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, whether for negligence or breach of contract, including without limitation, loss of business opportunities, profits or revenues, and whether or not the possibility of such damages or loss of opportunities, profits or revenues has been disclosed by the Consultant in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by the Company.

 

Taxes

 

5.2 The Consultant represents, warrants and covenants that the Consultant is acting and will act only as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company, and acknowledges that in so acting, the Consultant will not be entitled to any employee-like benefits, or any direct or indirect compensation other than that expressly set out in this Agreement. The Consultant will, as an independent contractor, collect and/or remit as required, all amounts, and will register with any workers’ compensation entities or other governmental bodies, and deal with all tax and other requirements, and satisfy all applicable compliance requirements, as required or permitted under law by all municipal, provincial or federal governments. Without affecting the Consultant’s other obligations in this §5.2, the Consultant will provide proof acceptable to the Company, acting reasonably, of the Consultant’s registrations, remittances or other tax or other compliance with applicable law, upon each such registration or remittance or upon request by the Company. The Consultant agrees that the Company will not be responsible for registering under any workers’ compensation legislation or for withholding or remitting any amounts for income taxes, Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, or other deductions that would be required in an employment relationship. The Consultant will promptly indemnify the Company for any liability that the Company incurs as a result of not making such registrations or remittances or other relevant compliance. In the event that the Canada Revenue Agency determines that remuneration paid by the Company for the Services was employment income to the Consultant, and further determines that the Company was obligated to withhold taxes at source, the Consultant shall be liable to indemnify the Company for any and all costs or assessment thereby occasioned.

 

 

 

 

Survival

 

5.3 All obligations and rights that, by their nature, are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Surviving Terms”), will survive the actual or purported termination or expiration, for any reason, of the Agreement.

 

Severability

 

5.4 If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will not be affected.

 

Governing Law

 

5.5 This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

4.8 Non-Disparagement. Neither Consultant nor Principal shall make any statement in any format (whether orally, electronically, or in writing including, without limitation, via email, on the internet or on social media) which is defamatory, disparaging or otherwise derogatory pertaining to the Company or any Company Entities. This prohibition is specifically meant to be broader than defamation and includes, without limitation, contacting employees, customers, clients, vendors, investors or potential investors of Company or Company Entities and saying or implying anything negative about Company or Company Entities by words, actions, context or any combination of these. Provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Consultant or Principal from making such truthful disclosures as are compelled or required or permitted by law and as are necessary for legitimate law enforcement or compliance purposes.

PART 5

 

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

No Liability

 

5.1 In no event will the Company be liable for any claims made by the Consultant for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, whether for negligence or breach of contract, including without limitation, loss of business opportunities, profits or revenues, and whether or not the possibility of such damages or loss of opportunities, profits or revenues has been disclosed by the Consultant in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by the Company.

 

Taxes

 

5.2 The Consultant represents, warrants and covenants that the Consultant is acting and will act only as an independent contractor and not as an employee of the Company, and acknowledges that in so acting, the Consultant will not be entitled to any employee-like benefits, or any direct or indirect compensation other than that expressly set out in this Agreement. The Consultant will, as an independent contractor, collect and/or remit as required, all amounts, and will register with any workers’ compensation entities or other governmental bodies, and deal with all tax and other requirements, and satisfy all applicable compliance requirements, as required or permitted under law by all municipal, provincial or federal governments. Without affecting the Consultant’s other obligations in this §5.2, the Consultant will provide proof acceptable to the Company, acting reasonably, of the Consultant’s registrations, remittances or other tax or other compliance with applicable law, upon each such registration or remittance or upon request by the Company. The Consultant agrees that the Company will not be responsible for registering under any workers’ compensation legislation or for withholding or remitting any amounts for income taxes, Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, or other deductions that would be required in an employment relationship. The Consultant will promptly indemnify the Company for any liability that the Company incurs as a result of not making such registrations or remittances or other relevant compliance. In the event that the Canada Revenue Agency determines that remuneration paid by the Company for the Services was employment income to the Consultant, and further determines that the Company was obligated to withhold taxes at source, the Consultant shall be liable to indemnify the Company for any and all costs or assessment thereby occasioned.

 

Survival

 

5.3 All obligations and rights that, by their nature, are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Surviving Terms”), will survive the actual or purported termination or expiration, for any reason, of the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

Severability

 

5.4 If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will not be affected.

 

Governing Law

 

5.5 This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Employee for Good Reason or by the Employer without Cause (other than on account of the Employee’s death or disability), in each case within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Amounts and subject to the Employee’s compliance with the Section 6 and Section 7 of this Agreement the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following:

If the Employee does not terminate employment for Good Reason within 180 days after the first occurrence of the applicable grounds, then the Employee will be deemed to have waived the right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such grounds.

   

7. Covenants and Restrictions. Employee acknowledges that the Employer has a substantial, legitimate and continuing interest in the protection of its Confidential Information (as defined below) and business relationships , including without limitation, current and prospective employees, consultants, advisors, customers, vendors, suppliers, partners and joint venturers and financing sources, and in the protection of its Confidential Information and business relationships has invested substantial money, time and effort and will continue to invest substantial money, time and effort to develop, maintain and protect such relationships and Confidential Information.

(c) Employee acknowledges that, by virtue of providing services under this Agreement, the Employer may disclose to Employee or give Employee access to Confidential Information so that Employee may properly fulfill his services and duties. Confidential Information may exist in electronic, written, visual, verbal or audio form, and there is no obligation that Confidential Information be marked with any legend or notation confirming its confidential status. Whenever Confidential Information is incorporated into a new document, electronic file, notes or other tangible media, such media shall become and be construed to be Confidential Information, subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement. All documents or other media containing Confidential Information, whether or not explicitly marked “Confidential” and all reproductions thereof shall at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Employer. Employee shall always hold in confidence and shall not disclose Confidential Information in whole or in part to any third party or to any employee of the Employer who does not need access to Confidential Information to discharge their duties.

   

“Confidential Information” is hereby defined as any and all information (whether transmitted orally or in writing and whether in electronic, digital, analog, magnetic, video, audio or any other tangible or intangible medium) respecting the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates that is or has been provided or made available to Employee pursuant to this Agreement or during his employment with the Employer or its affiliates, including, without limitation: (i) information relating to or concerning the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates that is confidential, proprietary or not generally known to and cannot be readily ascertained through proper means by persons or entities (including the Employer’s and its affiliates’ present or future competitors) who can obtain any type of value from its disclosure or use; (ii) products, discoveries, patents, patent applications, designs, drawings, software code, flow charts, schematics, technical specifications, processes, know-how, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, formulae, trade secrets, computer software, computer software systems and system architecture, computer print-outs, computer readable information, computer software object code and source code, inventions, and all other technical information of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates; (iii) marketing or development methods, proposals, processes, designs, plans and strategies of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any other entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates; (iv) names of vendors, costs of materials, prices of products or services , lists or records, profits and losses and all other financial information of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates; (v) business and operational plans and methods, business or property acquisition or development proposals, and all other business information of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates; (vi) pricing strategies of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates; (vii) client or customer lists or contact information (including email lists) and any descriptions or data concerning or containing current, former, or prospective clients and customers, including names, addresses, IP addresses, attributes, requirements, special needs, spending information and habits, and other data of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates; (viii) personnel information, hiring information, and other terms of employment including salary, compensation, commissions, and bonuses paid to the Employer’s or its affiliates’ employees; (ix) the terms of this Agreement; (x) the Employer’s or its affiliates’ cultivation processes, including any enhancements of them by Employee; (xi) any other information or data concerning the products, technology, operations, personnel, finances or business of the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates.

(d) Employee acknowledges and agrees that all files, records, documents, memoranda, notes, lists, records and other documents and written material, including copies thereof, containing or reflecting Confidential Information (whether or not such items are kept or stored in computer memories, microfiche, hard copy or any other manner) made or compiled by Employee or made available to Employee are and remain the property of the Employer and shall be delivered to the Employer promptly upon any termination of this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that all equipment, devices and all other items relating to the business of the Employer or its affiliates, whether prepared by or with the assistance of Employee or otherwise coming into his possession, control or knowledge, are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Employer and shall not be removed from the premises of the Employer or its affiliates under any circumstances.

  

(e) Employees’ use of any trademark, trade name, service mark, insignia, slogan, emblem, symbol, design or other identifying characteristic owned by or associated with the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates (collectively, “Company Marks”) shall be subject to the written approval of the Employer. Employee acknowledges both before and after the termination of this Agreement the exclusive right of the Employer to use or to grant to others the right or license to use any Company Marks. Employee acknowledges that the use of such Company Marks by Employee is granted at the absolute discretion of the Employer, and such use shall terminate immediately upon written notice from the Employer. The use of any Company Marks in any advertising or any promotional material shall be subject to the prior approval of the Employer. Except as specifically authorized by this Agreement, Employee agrees to not use Company Marks or to imitate or infringe upon any of the Company Marks in whole or in part. On the termination of this Agreement, Employee shall forthwith cease any use of such Company Marks in any advertising and promotional material. Employee shall take all actions that are necessary to maintain the Employer’s goodwill and reputation and agrees to cease utilizing, at the Employer’s demand, any and all Company Marks.

  

(f) If any covenant in Section 7(a)-(e) is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant will be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time, and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time, or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, will be effective, binding, and enforceable against the Employee. Employee will, while the covenant under Section 7(a)-(e) is in effect, give notice to the Employer, within ten days after accepting any other employment, of the identity of Employee’s new employer.

 

 
7

 

   

(g) Employee acknowledges and agrees that his failure to perform any terms contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Employer and cause damages to the Employer that would be difficult to ascertain or quantify and for which the Employer may not have an adequate remedy at law. As such, Employee agrees that the Employer shall be entitled to any proper equitable relief, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary or final injunction, to prevent a breach of this Agreement by Employee and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof without the necessity of proving actual damages or securing or posting any bond or providing prior notice, in addition to any other remedies available to the Employer at law or in equity. The restrictions and covenants contained in this Agreement are independent of any other obligations between the Parties, and the existence of any other claim or cause of action against the Employer is not a defense to enforcement of said covenants by injunction.

   

8. Non-Disparagement. Employee shall not make any statement in any format (whether orally, electronically, or in writing including, without limitation, via email, on the internet or on social media) which is defamatory, disparaging or otherwise derogatory pertaining to the Employer or any of its affiliates. This prohibition is specifically meant to be broader than defamation and includes, without limitation, contacting employees, customers, clients, vendors, investors or potential investors of Employer and its affiliates and saying or implying anything negative about Employer or its affiliates by words, actions, context or any combination of these. Provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Employee from making such truthful disclosures as are compelled, required or permitted by law and as are necessary for legitimate law enforcement or compliance purposes.

  

9. Assignment. The Parties agree that the services covered by this Agreement are strictly personal and that this Agreement is not assignable or transferable by Employee either voluntarily or by operation of law without the prior written consent of the Employer. However, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Employer’s ability to merge or consolidate or effect any similar transaction with any other entity, irrespective or whether the Employer is the surviving entity (including a split up, spin off or similar type transaction), provided that one or more of such surviving entities shall continue to be bound by the provisions hereof biding upon the Employer, to assign this Agreement in conjunction with a sale of all or substantially all of the Employer’s assets or equity interest therein, or to assign this Agreement to an affiliate of the Employer.

  

10. Binding Effect. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and bind the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto, if any. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall not create any rights in any person who is not a Party to this Agreement.

  

11. Choice of Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement shall be determined and governed by the laws of the State of Nevada. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any law or set of laws in the State of Nevada requires or otherwise dictates that the laws of another state or jurisdiction must be applied in any proceeding involving this Agreement, such Nevada law or set of laws shall be superseded by this Section and the remaining laws of the State of Nevada nonetheless shall be applied in such proceedings.

 

 
8

 

   

12. Arbitration. As a condition of this Agreement the Parties agree to exclusively submit to final and binding arbitration of any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, and causes of action (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or in any way related to the Agreement. The Parties further are hereby waiving the right to a jury or bench trial with respect to the Claims. Arbitration shall be by a single arbitrator selected by the Parties and shall be administered exclusively by the American Arbitration Organization (“AAA”) consistent with the rules, regulations, and requirements thereof as set forth in AAA’s Employment Arbitration Rules (www.adr.org/employment). Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees of the arbitration, including, but not limited to attorney’s fees. Arbitrator fees shall be borne equally by the Parties.

  

13. Severability. If any sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination shall be unenforceable in the jurisdiction where it is invalid, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain binding in such jurisdiction as if such unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. The enforceability of such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same in this Agreement otherwise shall be unaffected and shall remain enforceable in all other jurisdictions.

  

14. Waiver and Extensions. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision herein shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof or of any other term or provision herein. No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act hereunder shall be deemed an extension of time for the performance of any other obligations or act hereunder. No failure or delay in the exercise of any right given to either Party hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.

  

15. Headings, Gender and Number. Headings in this Agreement are included herein for the convenience of reference only and shall not define, limit, or otherwise constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. The masculine feminine, or neuter genders shall each include the others. All references to a period of days, months or years herein shall refer to calendar days, months or years, respectively, unless otherwise specifically stated.

  

16. Further Assurances. The Parties hereto agree to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver such additional agreements and instruments as either Party hereto may reasonably require to consummate, evidence or confirm the agreements contained herein in the manner contemplated hereby.

   

17. Construction. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party. The Parties acknowledge that each of them has reviewed this Agreement and has had the opportunity of having their attorneys review this Agreement. The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or of any of its exhibits or amendments.

  

18. Legal Representation and No Reliance. All Parties represent and agree that each has had the full and fair opportunity to discuss all aspects of this Agreement with an attorney of their choice and that they carefully have read and understand the terms hereof and that they are voluntarily entering into this Agreement.

  

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified, changed, or amended, except by a writing signed by the Party to be charged subsequent to the execution of this Agreement.

 

 
9

 

    

20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each such counterpart shall for all purposes be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Any signature page of this Agreement may be detached from any counterpart without impairing the legal effect of any signatures, and may be attached to another counterpart, identical in form, but having attached to it one or more additional signature pages. Delivery of an executed counterpart’s signature page of this Agreement by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, has the same effect as delivery of an executed original of this Agreement.

  

21. Notices. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given: (i) when delivered, if sent by telecopy or by hand; (ii) one (1) business day after sending, if sent by reputable overnight courier service, such as Federal Express; or (iii) three (3) business days after being mailed, if sent by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requests, postage prepaid.
